The Roadrunner Review
February 3, 2023
Notes from the principal
Check out the below message from Emily Ramthun, our G2M after school coordinator:
Hello Riverview families!
Social media, cell phones, and tablets can be cool and scary, especially for children. Riverview PTO and G2M are gauging the interest of Riverview families who would be interested in learning from Kimberely Pufahl from The Women's Community on how to allow your children to utilize technology safely. This event would take place in the evening of March 30th. Please complete this form to help us gauge interest in this possible event, this is not an RSVP.
Check out our scoreboard for February!


Parent/Teacher Conferences Sign-up coming next week
Greetings Riverview Families,
Parent/teacher conferences are approaching and we have set up the following times for conferences this spring:
February 16th - 3:45 pm - 7:45 pm (4K begins at 2:30 pm)
February 23rd - 3:45 pm - 7:45 pm (4K begins at 2:30 pm)
These nights will be evenings of scheduled, fifteen-minute conferences. We will once again be utilizing the PTCFast.com™website to facilitate this process. Please enter the following web address into your browser window to access the scheduling site or utilize the QR code to the right:
https://ptcfast.com/schools/Riverview_Elementary_School_1
If you did not utilize the website to schedule your child’s fall conferences, you will be asked to create a login ID and password with the website and must provide a working email address prior to signing up for conferences. Once you have registered, you will then receive a confirmation email via an email from PTCFast.com™ with a link to schedule your conference day and time. You are able to schedule with your child’s classroom and encore teachers. If you do not have internet access or require interpreting services, please contact your child’s teacher to schedule conference times.
Due to the larger number of conferences, we are requesting that parents whose children live in more than one household work together to schedule one conference time for your child. We know this may not always be feasible, but it would be greatly appreciated if every effort could be made. If additional conferences are needed, we would wait until all families have had a chance to schedule at least one conference before assigning a second one. If your student sees more than one teacher for their core class curriculum, we have scheduled your conference for you and you will receive notification of the day and time.
If you are not comfortable attending your conference in person, we will happily schedule this meeting in a virtual manner. It will still be important that you schedule a time through the link provided so that we have a time reserved for you. We will then ask that you call school or contact your child’s teacher to indicate your preference for a virtual meeting. Your child’s teacher will send you a link to attend.
If you have questions or concerns prior to this meeting, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you for being a part of the Riverview community, and we are looking forward to meeting with you!

PTO Leadership
It's not too early to think about next year's PTO leadership.
At our April 25 meeting, we need to elect the following officers:
-President (for a 2-year term)
-Secretary (for a 2-year term)
Current officers in these positions will be finishing their service to the Riverview PTO, so we are looking for new leaders!
April Wanish (VP) and Jean Schult (Treasurer) each have an additional year of service. We are happy to answer questions about any of these positions.
Have a great week!
-Margy and April
